can't boot
Hi all !
I have recovered an old Sparcstation
S20 with an internal SCSI Hard disk of 2,1 Gb.
I have downloaded and created the installation
CDs and I have already install linux on this workstation.
At the final step of the installation,
when this is the first reboot, my sparc give me an error message about
the PROM regarding to the HDD size.
(SILO Buggy old PROMs don't allow reading
past 1 GB from start of the disk. Send compains to SMCC)
Sinds two days, I'm looking for a solution
on the internet, I finally find an article who explained me how I can solve
this issues.
I need to edit the silo.conf file located
to my boot partition ...
With the rescue disk, I manage to start
a shell, there, I have tried several times to mount the boot partition
to be able to edit the silo.conf file, but without any success.
My boot partition is at /dev/sda1, I
tried the command
mount -t ext2 /dev/sda1 /mnt
the command proceed successfully, but
when I go to the /mnt directory to find the silo.conf file, when I type
the command ls I see nothing ... this is blank
How can I edit this files located in
the directory /boot on the disk /dev/sda1 ?
I'm totaly new into the linux universe,
and I'm lost.
Thank you for your precious help.
Tanguy
